Hi, Yes it is totally safe, however, it is not the best protocol to maximize results for cellulite. Typically we do at most 2 sessions a week for up to 5 weeks or single sessions weekly for 10-12 weeks for maximum results. This is because you are manipulating the fibrous bands that cause the cellulite and are stimulating the collagen growth so that the skin tightens while reducing the fat that pouches out and looks like cottage cheese. These 3 aspects take awhile for the body to respond to and regenerate and repair. 
If you are looking to use the velashape to shrink your fat in a short amount of time with few sessions, the technology is a little bit outdated (can be done but takes awhile and better results with newer technology like the trusculpt id. 
I would always be cautious of a technician who goes off of protocol, sometimes it is hard to turn down an eager client. If you have any red flags up, I would say be extra cautious with your time and money. 
Best of luck

Thank you for your question. 
VelaShape, a powerful combination of infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency, and mechanical massage, heats and shrinks fat cells and surrounding tissues to reduce the appearance of cellulite in both women and men. It smooths lumps and dimples on the surface of thighs, arms, stomach, love handles, and buttocks – trouble spots that diet and exercise often can’t reach.
VelaShape also stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin, which tightens the skin. The end result? A toned, contoured, and shapely body that makes you look and feel slimmer and more youthful.
Depending upon the cellulite grade and area, er usually advise our patients to schedule their treatments every 48 hours. In this way, their body have enough time to get rid of the waste. 
The Verjú low-level laser system utilizes green diodes to target fat cells. Six low-level lasers are placed over the treatment area and energy from the lasers liquifies the fat within the cells. The cells eventually release the liquefied fat, which is naturally eliminated from the body.
As the non-invasive body contouring treatments, Verju & VelaShape are a great combination for you to reduce stubborn area fat and contour your body shape without any down time.
